I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.  I am.  Today we are starting the day off with new roof, yard work completed, and oven cleaned..  Now I am free to enjoy some sewing.  First of all I have something to show off.  My daughter in law wanted to make something special for some of their friends who are coming into the state for a karate … Continue reading Super Sunday

Today was a day of good things.  I was able to bring my sewing machine home while waiting for a part.  The zigzag motor is going out or something.  It makes a noise, but I can still use the machine and I am. Upon arriving home after picking the machine up I had a package on my porch.  What was it you ask?   My new … Continue reading Good things today

Good morning all.  Today’s post will be a little bit of information.  I have been lucky enough to win a new cutting mat.  Until a very few months did I know that so many people are starting their  own line of quilting products.  This is great.  The cutting mat I won is from a lady I met thru Facebook.  Yes, Facebook does have some good … Continue reading Good Morning

I haven’t been writing or doing much of anything the past few weeks, but that has changed.  I have decided to not stress over what I can’t change and enjoy things as they come. I have been trying my hand on hand stitching wool project.  I think I do like this.  Having something on hand to be able to pull it out when I want … Continue reading Ups and Downs

The last few days I have been working on a wool mini quilt.  It has been fun.  I am somewhat glad the machine is in the shop, because it has given me time to relearn some embroidery stitches that I haven’t used in a long time.  I think I will have to do more of this.   I had to go onto youtube to figure out … Continue reading

Hubby surprised me with a “Road Trip>”  We left Wed, mid morning and went to Batesville, AR. to Marshall’s Dry Goods. It is a large fabric warehouse and is open to the public. I was disappointed when I got there and found out that 1/2 the store in the warehouse is only for business or if you want no less than 3 whole bolts. The … Continue reading Such a wonderful few days

I finished the quilt top and now trying to decide on the borders.  Original idea was green, but the shades of green are taking over so I am thinking of a Wine color with a light purple(not lavender).  What do you think would be good?The blue gets lost, and I do like the wine.  Suggestions? All that is left are the borders and binding….AND TEARING THE … Continue reading Top finished

I have been working on my Illusions Quilt, yard work, and family things, totally forgetting to keep up our blog. I have 3 rows of the Illusions Quilt together and hopefully tonight I will be able to finish piecing.  I can already see the different circles in it.   5 blocks left to piece.  I enjoy paper piecing, but hate ripping the paper off.  Something … Continue reading Can’t believe I am so behind

Actually I don’t have the date for this flyer, but if you notice the price for quilting you will have some sort of idea. I got this in a bunch of things at an auction.  Was fun to see the items in Pizza boxes.  Sorry, no Pizza’s. Any suggestions of the dates of this? My thoughts are 50’s or 60’s.  I also got of goodies … Continue reading Quilting from long ago.

Blocks B-E are finished and Block A is almost finished.  Maybe tonight I will have those finished.  Then put the rows together.  These are the blocks and then the layout for these.  I want to get these ready for the quilting by the weekend.  Let’s just hope my plans work out.  Seldom do they, but the nice thing is there is always tomorrow. I sit … Continue reading A Little Closer to being Finished
